I guess we have different views. If anybody knows the answer, not
"it's in the book" - and has run real-world tests, please share
succient knowledge so you can help advance my knowledge (and others who
could be interested). Though one day it might be interesting to
carefully read the entire ref-manual - I am hoping to get some friendly
dialog going about textbox data. If you don't share that specific
interest, please stay out of the thread or acting as a quasi-group
moderator.
PS - others, learn how to use this network. Your messages are
beginning to sound like "e-annoyances" - i.e. insults, which can send
you to jail these new months you're in. Better get nice. I don't want
to see them on my screen.
